My experience with calorie deficiency for weight loss.

You can never lose only fat, but it sounds like you are keeping the ratio of fat to muscle loss high. You might want to get a caliper (or better, a dunking) test done, too, since those are more accureate. Then you'll have a good before and after comparison

Is it possible to lose fat and muscle, but then gain muscle to offset what is lost?

I have heard that for a beginning weighlifter that is possible (for a few months). I'm really not sure what studies have been done, but if you are losing weight, lifting weights that can certainly help minimize any muscle loss. I have a Tanita scale, but I notice it varies a bit (and is not consistent with more reliable tests I have done), but if you are consistently getting lower (while measuring at same time of day) it sounds like you are losing a lot of fat

I measure at 7am nekid everyday and that is the number I go by.


Its been 5 weeks, and if i took a current picture and showed you guys the before and after so far, it would be easier to understand that im sure my loss has been mostly fat.

Do you drink any soft drinks (including diet)?

Did you drink soft drinks before but dropped them?

Do you avoid "white" processed foods/sugards?

Thanks for the helpful info.
